A man sat peacefully on the tree cross-legged, the morning breeze gently caressed his hair.

The man opened eyes his while inhaling deeply, His chest heaved up and down, and he tugged his kimono to protect his exposed neck from the slightly chilly atmosphere.

Delighted from the quality rest, he tidied his messy clothes and jumped down from the top of the tree to the ground.

After losing the cover of large leaves, the light illuminated his face, the man subconsciously raised his hands to his eyes.

His black kimono fluttered after all the motions he did. Fein looked deeply at his sleeping companions.

These guys drained their energy last night. Fein thought.

He was about to wake them up, but after some thought, he retracted his hand.

He took the cooking utensils to his storage space.

...

The aroma wafted in the surroundings, and the rich smell of curry and egg-fried rice that he was cooking lingers in the air.

Fein decided to prepare a simple dish today, egg-fried rice a simple yet popular dish in Asia. His fried rice combines chicken-flavored rice, a fried egg, and a crazy good stir-fry-like sauce. One doesn't need to be skilled when cooking this dish. You just have to time it well, and to the correct steps with the correct ingredients. Though, some stupid f*cks get it wrong even if it's that simple.So, this is how Fein cooked his fried egg. In the first step, Fein prepared the chicken-flavored rice, while the rice is cooking, of course, the rice he used wasn't newly cooked. he cracked five eggs and whisked them in a small bowl. After seeing it aside, He coated his wok pan with peanut oil and put it on medium heat so as to not burn the nutrients on the eggs. Once it started smoking, he pour the excess oil out of the pan. And then, he added the garlic and shallot and fried them for about 3 minutes.

And that was step 1, Fein breathed deeply, and he quickly entered 'Chess Perception' to increase his dexterity. Then he begins to commence the second step...

Once the time is up, he added the beaten egg to his wok and stirred it around until it was almost solid. With his 'Chess Perception' Fein can almost flawlessly do a series of movements with uncanny timing. After that, he added the cooked rice and mix it with everything in the wok.

Next, he added soy sauce along with sesame oil. He flattened it into the rice with the back of a spoon. Then he added the golden granules, umami spices, spring onion, and chili to the wok. Fein cooked it for a minute while mixing all the ingredients together. Now that the rice is complete, he simply plated it with thick leaves that he got from the trees.

As a result, Voli who was sleeping like a pig salivate even with his eyes close, and the noses of the two deer twitched. Fein would only take 30 minutes to cook the two dishes in total. The aroma started to thicken, and Voli opened his eyes wide and sprung up to his sleeping position. The others also started to wake up and they automatically shifted their gaze to the plates in Fein's hand.

Fein smirked at them, as he beckoned them with his hands while showing the dishes. Sofia and Voli gulped because they know how delicious his cooking was.

Just like that, six figures stared at their respective plates.

Gulu! Gulu!

The sound of an empty stomach protesting resonated, Sofia covered her stomach. Fein and others looked at her and laughed in unison.

Sofia's blushed hard with this, she just wants to dig a hole and cover herself with it!

The eight of them sat in a circular manner. Fein looked at them and said."You can eat,"

Hearing this, Voli was the first one to charge at the food. The slimes, on the other hand, expanded and they slowly covered the entire egg fried rice, the food entered their bodies, Fein can even see the food gets dissolve inside them.

Sofia looked at the others who started eating.

"Why don't you eat yet? Aren't you hungry?" Fein asked with the corners of his mouth lifted.

Sofia gulped and took the spoon to her right hand. She looks at the individual rice and with the curry soap on top of it. Her right hand moved closer to the plate as she started to scoop the food with her spoon.

She opened her mouth and food right through her mouth. The warm rice touched her tongue, and a savory and familiar taste of the chicken was registered on her taste buds. The taste of the chicken and egg didn't conflict but complemented each other. One scoop after another, Sofia couldn't stop eating after the first taste.

Fein was delighted after seeing them enjoy his food like usual. There's nothing more satisfying than making others happy with your cooking. Fein wasn't really that passionate about cooking in his past life. And he only shows the same excitement when eating. But now, after acquiring his talent and seeing the happy faces of his friends after tasting his food. He began to become addicted, and he just wants to continue and improve. In that way, he can cook more delicious food that can even break the clothes of others with mere pleasure! That's one realm higher than his current level but he will get there eventually.

Just like that, the eight of them finished cooking with their faces filled with satisfaction and their bulging stomachs.

The slimes, on the other hand, became pure blue as their liquid bodies scattered in the ground like water.

"Do slimes behave like this when they are full?" Fein looked at Sofia.

Sofia shrugged and just continued to lie down.

"Well, just rest first, then we will complete our daily training." Fein looked at her.

Seeing that she was all ears, Fein continued.

"Then we will leave directly and go to your Mansion first. I don't want my family to see my state. They would freak out if they see me with only one hand."

"Don't worry, you can trust our butler with that matter." Sofia yawned feeling sleepy after eating satisfying food.
